By age 17, he published 10 peer-reviewed manuscripts in quantum field theory and particle physics. At 19 he got his PhD in particle physics from Caltech. Age 21, youngest ever recipient of what they used to call the MacArthur "genius" grant. Then struck it rich founding a mathematical software company. So, to be fair, he's done ok for himself.
